Configuring Avaya Communication Manager, Cisco 2811

Gatekeeper and Cisco CallManager to Control VoIP Calls

between Avaya and Cisco Telephones - Issue 1.0

Abstract

These Application Notes describe a configuration, including, Avaya Communication Manager,

a Cisco 2811 Gatekeeper, and Cisco CallManager that was verified for a customer proof of

concept request. In this configuration, Avaya Communication Manager and Cisco

CallManager are registered with the Cisco 2811 Gatekeeper, which provides call control

between Avaya Communication Manager and Cisco CallManager.

1. Introduction

An H.323 gatekeeper can provide address translation and network access control services for

H.323 terminals and gateways. These Application Notes present the configuration steps to allow

Avaya Communication Manager to communicate with Cisco CallManager via a Cisco 2811

Gatekeeper. These Application Notes will cover the necessary configuration steps for Avaya

Communication Manager, a Cisco 2811 Gatekeeper and Cisco CallManager.

Figure 1 depicts the network configuration utilized for these Application Notes.

In Location A in Figure 1, the Avaya G350 Media Gateway with S8300 Server provides both

H.323 Gateway (GW) and Gatekeeper (GK) functionality. In Location B, the Cisco 2811 access

router is configured as an H.323 Gatekeeper, and the Cisco CallManager is registered with it.

The Cisco 2811 GK provides E.164 to IP address resolution and call control for bandwidth

between the Location A and Location B.

The are two zones defined on this Gatekeeper, a local zone for Location B and a remote zone

for Location A. The Gatekeeper stays in Local zone. The following shows the basic flow for a

call from Location A to Location B:

• Avaya Communication Manager sends a Location Request (LRQ) message to the Cisco

2811 Gatekeeper.

• The Cisco 2811 Gatekeeper checks its dial plan and bandwidth requirement

• If the call meets the bandwidth requirement:

o The Cisco 2811 GK responds with location confirm (LCF) to Avaya

Communication Manager.

o Avaya Communication Manager will set up the call to the Cisco CallManager

through H.225 (Q.931) signaling.

• If the bandwidth requested exceeds the bandwidth requirement, the Cisco 2811

Gatekeeper sends call Location Rejection (LRJ) to Avaya Communication Manager to

deny the call.

Similarly, this call flow can be applied for call origination in Location B to Location A.

3. Avaya Communication Manager Configuration

3.1. Configuring Node Names on the Avaya Communication Manager

This section presents configuration steps for node name to IP address mapping on Avaya

Communication Manager. It is assumed that appropriate license and authentication files have

been installed on the S8300 Server. It is also assumed that the network IP address on the S8300

Server has been configured to 22.1.1.22/24 and the IP address on the G350 GW has been

configured to 22.1.1.23/24.

Avaya Communication Manager SAT screens can be accessed using “telnet 192.11.13.6 5023”

from a computer connected to the services port, or “telnet 22.1.1.22 5023” through the network.

Use the command change node-names ip to display the mapping of node names to IP addresses.

The node name Call-Manager is mapped to Cisco CallManager’s IP address 60.1.1.5 and the

node name Cisco-GK is mapped to the Cisco 2811 router’s IP address 60.1.1.10. The procr is

mapped to the Avaya S8300 Server’s IP Address 22.1.1.22.

3.2. Configuring IP Network Region

In this sample configuration, the IP network region 1 is configured for Location A and the IP

network region 2 is configured for Location B.

Use the command change ip-network-region 1 to specify the IP codec set to be used for

network region 1 and the IP codec set used between network region 1 and region 2. Page 1 of 19

shows that codec set 1 is used for network region 1. The fields under DIFFSERV/TOS

PARAMETERS and 802.1P/Q PARAMETERS are used for QoS. The Avaya IP telephone

will receive these QoS parameters upon registration.

3.3. Configuring Signaling and Trunk Groups to Cisco 2811

Gatekeeper

In order to configure Avaya Communication Manager as an H.323 Gatekeeper to send LRQ to

the Cisco 2811 GK, a signaling group for outbound traffic must be configured. Note that the IP

address of the Avaya S8300 Server (procr) functions as an IP address for both H.323 GW and

GK.

Use the command add signaling-group <group number> to create a signaling group. The Near-

End Node Name and Far-end Node Name are configured to the procr and Cisco-GK

respectively. To configure the Avaya S8300 Server as a H.323 GK, LRQ required must be set to

y. Near-end Listen Port and Far-end Listen Port must be configured to 1719 (UDP port 1719 for

H.225 RAS). Direct IP-IP Audio Connections and IP Audio Hairpinning must be set to n for

successful media paths. Disabling Direct IP-IP and IP Audio hairpinning will establish the RTP

stream between the G350 Media Gateway and the Cisco IP Telephones for inter location calls.

To support out-of-band DTMF, DTMF over IP must be configured to out-of-band. To control

Codec Set selection, the Far-end Network Region is configured to 2. Note that this signaling

group is configured to be associated with the trunk group 20.

IP trunk member port values are initially configured to “ip” in the Port field. The system will

then assign a value to the port as shown below. Note the IP trunk members are virtual ports. In

the following screen, five members associated with signaling group 20 are configured. This

means that the IP trunk group only supports five simultaneous VoIP calls. The sixth call will be

blocked if there is no backup trunk available. If a PSTN trunk is configured as a backup trunk,

the additional calls can be overflowed to the PSTN, or all calls can use the PSTN if the VoIP

trunk is out of service.

When a call is placed from Avaya Communication Manager, the called number is routed (by

these Application Notes, Cisco CallManager.

Separate signaling and trunk groups are required for Avaya Communication Manager to receive

calls. When Avaya Communication Manager receives a call setup message from a Cisco

CallManager via the Cisco 2811 Gatekeeper, Avaya Communication Manager will try to match

it to a signaling group based on the remote GW’s IP address. The call will be denied if there is

no match. To reduce the configuration required, the Far-end Node Name can be left unspecified,

or an inbound signaling group can be configured for each GW from which Avaya

Communication Manager should accept calls. The following screen shows the configuration for

inbound signaling group 21. Note that Near-end Listen Port must be 1720 to accept incoming

calls (TCP port 1720 for H.225 call setup messages). The LRQ Required is set to n. Like the

configuration for signaling group 20, Direct IP-IP Audio Connections and IP Audio Hairpinning

are set to n, DTMF over IP is configured to out-of-band, and the Far-end Network Region is set

to 2.

4. Cisco 2811 Gatekeeper and Cisco CallManager

Configuration

4.1. Configuring the Cisco 2811 Gatekeeper

The following are the annotated Cisco 2811 Gatekeeper configuration. A Gatekeeper will

forward the LRQ from Avaya CM and Cisco CallManager when the LRQ forwarding is enabled

on the GK. To enable a gatekeeper to forward LRQ messages, use the lrq forward-queries

command in gatekeeper configuration mode. Note that lrq forward-queries add-hop-count

must be configured on the Cisco 2811 GK, to allow the Cisco 2811 GK to forward the LRQ from

Avaya Communication Manager.

There is one local zone named GateKeeper and one remote zone named G350 configured on the

Cisco 2811 GK. Zone prefix “61*” (where * will match any sequence of numbers following 61)

is associated with the Cisco CallManager telephone extensions, and the Zone prefix “45*” is

associated with the extensions configured on Avaya Communication Manager.

For bandwidth control, the maximum bandwidth allowed between the local and remote zones is

configured as 256 kb. If the maximum bandwidth is fully utilized, the GK will reject any

additional call attempts.

4.2.2. Add New Region

Regions are used for codec selection. In these Application Notes, two regions are used. The

default region is used for Location B and a new region, named Avaya, is created for Location A.

To save bandwidth on WAN link, codec G.729 is used between these two regions. Intra-region

calls will use codec G.711 ulaw. The following steps show how to create a new region on Cisco

CallManager.

• Click System Æ Region

• Click Add a New Region as shown below

• Enter avaya as Region Name

• Select G.729 as Default Codec with Other Regions. This will force the Cisco

CallManager to use codec G.729 for calls to other region.

• Click Insert
